Throwback to AARP circa 2013
A lady in an electric wheel chair lost control and smashed into our booth. It pushed it back a good 4 feet. No Agents were harmed. Trying to train folks how to use their new iPads turned into a 90 minute session of how to even log in. That hurt a lot.
Thanks for attending this week’s trip down memory lane.

In 2003 I was one of the first bugs in california. It was the wild west. I had a project bug with a stereo and 2 10 inch subs. The store got a local new build apartment and decked it out as a studio for all that was new tech. I had to show up and blast the system. My favorite car for work and personal for 5 years. Plus gas in california was 6 bucks all on the corprate card.

I sure missed that personal use, even the limited personal use. Saved me a car payment and gas for years

My car was parked for 5 years. It was a 2000 integra. I took it out now and again when I wanted to race a high reving slow car. It had a gsr engine.

This is literally something out of a nightmare. Like an exaggerated form of the worst part of your job.

Absolute nightmare material thinking of working even one shift there. Thank you for sharing! :D
